I voted remain, sad we are leaving the EU. But what do foreigners think of brexit?
>>
Good, the EU is tyrannical

Although I do have some issues with the United Kingdom I'd rather not see them oppressed

I'm glad you guys threw a monkey wrench into the whole project. I mean you've unwittingly fucked your country for a good couple generations but hey two birds stoned at once and whatever
>>
>>72496056
I like Britain and I have some a family there (aunt and two cousins), so of course, I am disappointed.

I hope we'll be able to maintain good relations even after Brexit and that the UK stays as close to the EU as possible.

I thought it was fantastic. A European superstate is a stupid idea doomed to fail, better to leave and make your own way. I also find it pretty hilarious that the so-called Scottish Nationalists are so eager to gain independence from the UK just so they can submit to Brussels.

Why? Had they not tried to centralize power so much so quickly what's to say it would have failed. Even with the loss of Britain it isn't guaranteed to fall.

I always find it funny when people say something like that.
Because "the EU" didn't take anything.

I hope UK turns alright, but also that EU screws you hard enough to discourage any other country from leaving.

Awesome!

What it could be is immaterial. What it is is a project with the longterm goal of stripping the individual nations of most of their sovereignty and concentrating power in Brussels. This is the stated goal of the Eurocrats, and it's why the EU will fail in the long run.

I can't just legislate anything. The competency of the EU is limited and it can't legislate anything outside of that, unless the national parliaments of the memberstates allow it to do so.

>>
>>72497438
The EU is, by design, a federation where the central government has more or less limited powers, and it's the "more or less" that's getting people so worked up. If Brussels signs a trade agreement like TTIP or CETA, those agreements become national law across all member states, affecting 300+ million people, and there isn't a damn thing that you, me, or anyone not part of the EU parliament can do about it.
Make no mistake; the EU can turn an awful lot of things into national law by force.

The whole deal almost got blown becaquse of a local parliament in Wallonia, and can still be blown apart by the parliaments of the member states, which shows how indecisive and powerless the EU actually is.

A necessary move.

Ideally The EU could be this magical place where all Europeans work and socialize together and money flows like honey to the Jews in Canae.
Instead the EU turned into a system that raped Southern Europe financially and then started to rape Western/Northern Europe with useless migrants from piss poor shitholes.

Cans finally stopped getting kicked down the road. But I personally fear it's too little too late.

Many continental European countries want this integration because of the events that shaped them during the 20th century. These events affected the UK in a different way, we were never invaded and occupied, or had far-right or communist movements tear up our political landscape like some European countries. We have had a stable democracy for quite a while.

>>72496056
The EU is a tyrannical bureaucracy that looks more like the Soviet Union every day. I was watching Euronews recently and they showed Schulz shaking hands with Antonio Tajani, and kept harping on about how it was a handover from centre-left to centre-right in the European Parliament.

It had a real vibe of, "See, critics of the EU, we do have ideological diversity."
>>
>>72499462
oh please, you're living under a fucking rock if you seriously think the current EU is at all powerful

Just look at the Ukraine crisis. Literally RIGHT ON THE BORDER OF THE EU, and yet the EU didn't lift a single fucking finger. Heck, Germniggers were even reluctant to do as little as impose sanctions on Russia. It was a pathetic shitshow of pure cowardice and economic opportunism (spearheaded by Germany, as usual). Same thing with the Yugoslav wars: the EU was comparitively extremely uninvolved. Instead, it was (as usual) the US getting involved. I'm sorry, but when the US is more involved in fucking Yugoslavia and in fucking Ukraine (literally right on your borders), then it's a clear sign that your union has absolutely no power projection whatsoever.
>>

in fact, to add to this, I'd even wager that the UK acting independently of the EU probably has more power projection in European matters than does the EU itself

That's how it started, yes. But it's becoming more apparent to people that those limits are decided by the European institutions themselves and their sycophants in national governments and are therefore illusory. Any supposed limits are a Trojan horse, and people are realising that.

>>72498303

Exactly. We "almost" ended the Lisbon Treaty, but we didn't, did we? And at that, the Lisbon Treaty was just the EU's circumvention of France's rejection of a European Constitution. The idea that individual nations can impede the EU is a lie.

I read that it represented the overall western culture. It's a starry occidental night, opposed to the rising sun of the east.

With that beeing said, I think the British saw EU always more like an free market where each country competed for their own best interest, and not as a common project of federalization.

That means they still have open borders with Europe, still can't deny Poles and Romanians from coming, still have to adopt something like 80-90% of EU regulation, including all trade regulation, but this time without any representation or say in EU parliament or the Council of Europe.

On the whole the EEA package is a much bigger hit to sovereignty than the EU because we have to adopt all those laws without as much as our opinion being heard. This is acceptable to Iceland and Norway because we've basically accepted that our representation in the EU would always be small and the two sectors the EEA doesn't cover, agriculture and fishing are too important to us.

A lot of Brexit voters seemed to think they could deny EU immigration and choose which EU laws to implement while in the EEA but the fact is they're worse off in the EEA than the EU with regards to these matters.
>>

>I support the idea of a mutli-speed EU
You see, this is the problem with the EU. Many people project onto it what they think it should be - a neoliberal economic model, a plan for European co-operation, etc. - but, in reality, it's only one thing, a project to strip European nations of their sovereignty in the name of 'European integration'. There is no fruitful negotiation on that point.

>>72501999
Alright, fair point. I'm of the view that their superior bargaining power, because of their 'special relationship' with Trump's America, puts them in a position to make a better deal than Iceland or Norway.

We'll almost certainly be going for a "hard" Brexit, which means cutting all ties with the EU. We won't be going with the EEA and instead if we can't reach an agreement we'll start off on WTO rules and work from there.

>>72501999
We are not going for an EEA situation, we are going for a hard Brexit which will mean we will have the same relationship to Europe as do other nations like China or the USA.
>>
>>72496056
my thoughts are generally positive, although I like some of the principles behind the EU such as the single market it really seems like a very unsavory institution that failed to realize its own limits.

My only complaint about Brexit is that things are going to get really shitty for the remaining members, Britain was an important voice for moderation and preserving national sovereignty within the EU and with it gone it will basically pull out all the stops on Germany going full reich mode. I also felt quite bad for Eastern Europeans who came here and found the attacks on Poles in particular following the results to be completely disgusting.

Our government will be held to account more rigorously than it is now, precisely because it can't blame everything on the EU. I think it will actually improve the standard of how we're governed and legislated. The buck truly will stop with Parliament now.

>>72503472
You mean you saw shitposting. Norway deal means free movement, something all the pro-leave politicians in the UK were constantly saying they wanted to end. So Norway was never happening if you paid attention to politics in the UK.

>>72503507
Yeah, we can have a deal and a relationship, it will just not be as close as a country like Norway has because we want control of things like borders.
>>
>>72503472
>I saw a lot of British flags on /int/ and /pol/ claiming that Britain would be going for a Norway-style deal

British flags on /int/ and /pol/ =/= representative of lots of Brexit voters. Many aren't even British but proxies.

People who understand what a "Norway style deal" means do NOT want that, for obvious reasons.
>>
>>72503472
yes, and they were extremely misinformed and stopped replying when you brought up the fact that you'd STILL make monetary contributions, STILL allow free movement and STILL follow various EU regulation, all without having a seat at the table.

Switzerland still has free movement. The best example would actually be Liechtenstein which has controls on EU migration but still has market access.

>Nobody is forcing the countries to federalize
Repackaging a treaty that was rejected by the French populace and then denying them a referendum the next time seems fairly close to forcing.

Making the Irish vote on Lisbon again seems fairly close to forcing.

Threatening to fine Hungary laughably high sums for refusing 'refugees' seems seems close to forcing.

Just because they do what they do within the rules, and with co-operation of sycophantic national politicians, doesn't mean it's not aggressive, expansionist and loathsome.The fact that a German can't understand how something that's technically within the rule can be inappropriate is precisely the reason I don't like European federalism.

Honestly I think it's misleading to talk about a deal based on any of those countries. We're going to have a UK style deal, we're not Norway we're not Switzerland.

Frankly we're not some small client state that has no other option but to submit to whoever happens to be in charge of Continental Europe at the time. The UK has never done that and we're not going to start now. And if the EU tries to treat the UK like it is such a country, they'll have an interesting time of it.

Thanks for illustrating my point. All of those countries have different interests because the EU is not one country but 28 (soon 27). There is only one government sovereign over the UK, poor Barnier will be pulled apart from every direction once negotiations begin.

I know. That's why I mentioned Barnier. This man is the Chief Negotiator of the Commission. Did you not read my post?

My point is that he can't do whatever he wants, he has to satisfy the separate governments at the end of the day. I'm repeating myself, please pay attention: the EU is not a country but 28 different countries all of which are sovereign

100% positive opinion of Brexit. EU's moving towards a formal federation of states.

People who are pro-remain are literally in favor of trading their country's sovereignty for economic gain, which is absolutely pathetic.

EU politics as a whole needs to die. Let it be an economic zone and nothing else, rather than some social engineering experiment for jackoff leftists trying to force all the European states into a massive conglomerate so they can have a nice footnote next to their name in history.

Depends. Free movement is nice if you're going on vacation, not nice if you're a guy with an low skill/mid skill job that can easily be done by someone who doesn't really speak your language (think manual labor), because now you suddenly have downward pressure on your wages. Having unified industrial regs is nice if you're only exporting to the EU, but not so nice if you're exporting to a country outside the EU which doesn't require such stringent standards, in which case you goods are less competitive. An EU parliament is nice, except if the legislation isn't democratically formed and if MPs have such divergent views on what should happen that positive changes rarely happen but the MPs and associated staff are still getting paid quite a bit of money from the EU budget.
